Review Taiyaki Nyc - New York City

Andrew Calore

A MUST GO! Best ice cream in the city. No matter what season it may be, Taiyaki is a top spot fro ice cream lovers. They need to come back to Miami. 5 stars for Teriyaki NYC Food: 5 Stars The ice cream is soft served on a delicious soft baked cone. I mean what more could you ask for? Oh yeah, how about chocolate drizzle and a wafer cookie to top it off. I went with a classic vanilla option and was so good that we went back for seconds and tried the Matcha flavor. Both were very good with Vanilla being my top choice. Service: 5 Stars Very friendly upon walking in and super helpful with any questions we had. They were even nice enough to provide samples to a few flavors before we committed to a choice. Ambiance: 4 Stars The ambiance is a typical ice cream shop. It is a very small location with a few seats but you're not coming here for ambiance. The best seat in the house is actually a step outside on the streets of NYC. It’s on a side street which isn't necessarily busy so you can take some awesome pictures with your delicious ice cream cones.

Delicious soft-serve ice cream with spongy fish cones. There are many flavors to choose from and many toppings as well, it can get overwhelming at first but the staff is dope and will help you every step of the way. I got the strawberry mango taiyaki and it was really good, I feel the best part is the fish-shaped cone. The pancake absorbs the melted ice cream, it's just so good. I also tried their souffle pancakes which were oh so fluffy and airy (available Sat & Sun for the first 3 hours), honestly felt like I was eating warm pancake clouds. If you're in the area I definitely recommend visiting Taiyaki NYC, you won't be disappointed.

The matcha ice cream is delicious. It's not too sweet. The waffle is so good with the red bean inside. The staff is nice

Omg was the ice cream amazing. Really the best I ever eat. When you want the toast of japan, you have to go there. But you need time because a lot of people want to go there. It is one a little store.

Delicious!! I got the traditional one with custard cream and one with red bean paste. From the ice cream filled i just took a lick it was very creamy great quality soft serve! I tried first time in San Diego at the SOMISOMI but it’s almost the same… I’m glad they have the similar in NYC too.

Excellent spot for high quality taiyaki. Their ice cream flavors are delicious and there are many choices. I appreciate how they have a few preset options you could choose and then a “make your own” option as well. They’re also super accommodating if you choose a preset one and change toppings - they don’t charge you to change! There is no space in the restaurant, and with how crowded it gets, you’ll be standing next to a bunch of people. There isn’t any close seating, so be prepared to stand outside and eat.

Usually I don’t like places that have blown up through social media but the quality and creativity is still there. Ice cream was great and balanced. The taiyaki was still warm and the ice cream did not melt. Taiyaki was great too. We got the red bean but will definitely try the custard one next time. Staff was friendly and patient. They take card and I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

I saw some girl's Tiktok about this place and ice cream is one thing I'm willing to go out of my way for. I ordered an $8.50 "the classic", which was a warm fish waffle cone with vanilla soft serve, chocolate syrup, oreo crumbles, and a crunchy stick. It was really good but messy!

Located in china town, quite easy to find although in a connecting alley. The place itself is very small and they sell some of the popular foods only in the mornings, or until a certain hour. They have delicious and as i heard from my kid, very popular ice cream. It was worth coming here and trying it, it was yummy and in a cute fish like cone.

A very unique experience here. You cannot go wrong with any flavor here. We got the chocolate this time and it was delicious and the waffle was perfectly crispy and doughy inside. The staff is extremely polite and very friendly and the store is super clean. They accept credit cards, which is a plus.

Very delicious, the warm “taiyaki cone” and the cold ice cream go so well together. The ice cream itself is delicious, I don’t know how to describe it, but it tastes like icecream from my childhood in China. I had the strawberry mango, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a refreshing summer flavor!

Chocolate ice cream tastes like ice cream from a truck. Light texture, not too sweet and there’s some custard cream on the bottom of fish waffle.

Wished they had more interesting and new flavors. The matcha and black sesame are great but at this point there are many places that make it even better. Great place to try but starting to be outdated, especially when you’re in nyc

I have been seeing pictures of this place all over my instagram so I thought why not and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. The soft serve comes in different shape of cone and tastes really good. We ordered straight out of Japan and beach please. Both were really good.

An inventive Japanese Ice cream shop. You select a cone, then ice cream and toppings. The cone option is the most unique, the cone can be a spongy fish cone that houses the ice cream.

Went here because my girlfriend LOVES Tayaki and Matcha. We got the Matcha Ice Cream with the custard filled Tayaki cone, it was very good! Tasted like pure matcha. I recommend going if you’re willing to spend approximately $9 per person.
